With the economy and the whole green thing going on, hand crafted is the push right now. I truly love my local artists and I believe that my Barn could not have the unique look it has without them. My crafter's knit, not only scarves, but mittens and hats as well. They make pillows and dolls and canvas and art and they are truly inspirational to us all. Now - if only I had time for my own designs.... someday. In this post I am featuring the art by my friends Sue Wolfe, Renee Ellena and my new friend Sue Abramowski.

Tuesday is the last day of November.

Oh my, do I have to get busy.

It is time for a POWER list.

Only 6 days until the home tour. When 100's of women and men, well mostly women.... 1-2 men will come through and I can never tell if they are happy to be escorting the Mrs. or if it is a pay back thing. One year, Mr. guest stayed out front and shoveled snow for me. We had a ton of snow that year. All of my pots and outdoor vignettes were buried... oh jeez

It is starting here with some cold weather and a little bit of snow. Now is the time to start preparing the house for Christmas, but first some pumpkin pie, I love pumpkin pie for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving... yummy. Many people shop the weekend after thanksgiving so I hope you all plan on stopping at the Barn for your special gifts. I am trying to prepare a post with my special artisian gifts that are at the Barn this year. Stay tuned. For now these pictures are a continuation of the front room with the large penguin table. Browns and whites and greens and loads of nature...birch and pine and birch.

this is one of the real trees I drag in every year

lanterns are very hot this year

and again words are hot, hot, HOT

love this shot

I did something similar on my front door at home this year

Too Fun

Lori Miller, Owner and Author

The Round Barn Potting Company is an adventure in design and decor. I began this adventure June 01, 2007. My brick and mortar shop was housed in a large round barn, hence the name of my company. I have recently closed the brick and mortar shop but my mind continues to create. The blog reflects my style, which is a mix of vintage and architectural pieces, casually blended with new product. My home is a place to come for daily rejuvenation and inspiration. I will post as many pictures as I can. I will fill the online shop when I can and can ship almost all merchandise in the US. You can always check on product that you see by emailing me at loriatthebarn@ymail.com
